Tin foil hat firmly on (5.00 / 0) (#4)

It's also interesting that Ayers' father was CEO of Commonwealth Edison which is now part of Exelon, which also owns the nuclear facility Obama has been associated with and Axelrod does PR for them.

That makes for an interesting web of connections between Obama and his campaign, Ayers, Ayers' father  and the two spouses and the Sidley Austin firm, which in turn has supplied a couple lower level Bush administration appointees, along with Exelon. Exelon, in turn, owns a dozen nuclear plants (including Three Mile Island) and a lot more coal-fired plants.

If were a conspiracy theorist, it would certainly be easy to concoct a good story out of all of that, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence any of it means anything. It'd make a good John Grisham novel.

Nothing outlandish about your theory: (5.00 / 0) (#5)

Bush was the creation of oil men, and created policy which reflected that. I also suspect that energy policy is the real reason Obama is the favorite of the elites, with his laissez-faire attitude towards regulation a close second.

Obama (none / 0) (#10)

appears to be backed by the energy industry.

It is humorous to think about how the Ayers's produced a high profile domestic terrorist and a Power company CEO. Both became inordinately interested by education reform measures in Chicago in later years. And both sponsored a Presidential candidate who appears to do what Exelon  demand.
